<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2112775, member: 71723&quot;]In what possible world does the existence of multiple cultural norms justify the destruction of a perfectly viable and benevolent definition of a word that has served the most advanced of those cultures so well for so long?</p><p><br /></p><p>So now the Judeo-Christian western world&#039;s definition of marriage has to be tossed aside lightly, but SERIOUS religious tenets like the worship of gold and silver, now THAT&#039;S inviolate? You are aware, I trust, that most of us reside on a continent whose early residents did NOT use metals as money, right? They used beads made from quahog shells, if I recall my reading correctly. So now we&#039;re to believe an invading hoard&#039;s views on the legitimacy of money must be eternally observed, but that very same hoard&#039;s views on the legitimacy of marriage are somehow disposable?</p><p><br /></p><p>All I can say is, &quot;Wow, just wow!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Intellectual consistency would seem to require either the acceptance of both, or the rejection of both, IF intellectual consistency is your bag, at least. If not, go ahead with your a la carte life based on whatever moves your whim, at any particular instant, just like most of us in this country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
